writeAccountLists checked only for a running Betterbird and wrote without a sync;
it now waits for the profile's lock too and writes atomically. readLayer read any
answer that was not JSON as an empty layer, and a proposal replaces the layer
whole, so a changed wording would have dropped accounts; it now refuses. The
README says the rollout order that leaves no node on Betterbird's defaults.

mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
The module owned only the accounts' server fields, so identities, signatures,
calendars, address books, filters and tags could differ between desktop nodes
unseen, and the operator's own preferences were shipped in the catalogue.

prefs becomes one entry per preference (a node's layer overrides one key) and the
defaults file keeps no value of the operator's; identities, calendars,
address-books, filters and tags become settings, adopted like accounts, filters
owned whole per account, and what Betterbird rewrites written only while it is
closed. New tools list each kind, derive the layers from every desktop node and
propose one at a time, and show drift; every answer passes a credential check.

grafana runs without influxdb and home-assistant without the Servarr apps or a broker, yet a mesh
without them could not assign either. Their requirements are now optional: bound when a provider
runs, absent otherwise, with nothing installed for them. grafana's data source and its credential are
delivered only while influxdb-api is bound, into directories it mounts, so an absent file never
becomes a directory docker made in its place.

## The configuration this module ships
## The preferences: locks, the setting prefs, and Betterbird's own defaults
Betterbird's configuration comes in three layers (novox/hq issue 345). The operator approved the set on
2026-10-12. It is the laptop's setup, with the start page locked off, reminders missed while asleep shown at the
next start, and chat off.
Betterbird's preferences come in three layers (novox/hq issue 345, issue 586). **The operator's own choices
live in the module's configuration, never in the catalogue**: the module ships only its policy's locks and the
names it keeps at Betterbird's own default.
| layer | file | who changes it | holds |
| layer | where | who changes it | holds |
|---|---|---|---|
| **locked** | `/opt/betterbird/distribution/policies.json` (`install/distribution/`) | only a reviewed catalogue change | what must never differ on a node; Betterbird's settings show it greyed out |
| **default** | `/opt/betterbird/defaults/pref/mesh-defaults.js` (`install/defaults-pref/`) | a catalogue change; or the operator in Betterbird's settings, where the change lands in the profile's `prefs.js` | the operator's setup: what a fresh node gets without anyone touching it |
| **node** | the setting `prefs`, written to `~/.config/betterbird/user.js` and placed in the profile's `user.js` | the operator, per node, through the settings layers | a node's exceptions, such as a font size for a larger screen |
| **declared** | the setting `prefs`, mesh-wide with a node's layer over it, written to `~/.config/betterbird/prefs.json` and placed in the profile's `user.js` | the operator, through the settings layers (trusted: the terminal or the operator's warrant) | the operator's setup, and a node's exceptions, such as a font size for a larger screen |
| **Betterbird's default** | Betterbird's own defaults; `mesh-defaults.js` names those the module manages there | a catalogue change | the preferences kept at Betterbird's default |
A locked value wins over everything. A node layer (`user.js`) wins over the profile's `prefs.js`, and
`prefs.js` wins over a default.
A locked value wins over everything; a declared one (in `user.js`) wins over the profile's `prefs.js` at every
start; `prefs.js` wins over a default.
**The setting `prefs` is one entry per preference** (issue 586): `{"prefs": {"mail.uifontsize": 14, …}}`, the
value true, false, a whole number or a string. The node-engine merges the layers key by key, so a node's layer
overrides one preference, or takes one out with `null`. The operator's setup approved on 2026-10-12 (compact
density, 14-point text, the vertical view with multi-line cards and threads, no new-mail pop-up, sound or tray
icon, the calendar's day from 09:00 to 20:00, reminders missed while asleep shown, chat off, remote content
blocked, Do Not Track; 21 preferences) moved from the catalogue's defaults file into the mesh-wide layer of
`prefs`, set on the operator's Approve.
**The order that leaves no node on Betterbird's own defaults** (issue 586): merge this build (the `record`
upgrade policy holds it back from the nodes); propose the mesh-wide layer through the controller's `settings`
verb with `propose`, carrying the current `accounts` verbatim and `prefs` with the 21 values; the operator
approves; only then push the desktop nodes. Caveat: between that approval and a node's push, any other send to a
desktop node writes the map's text into the old build's user.js, and `betterbird_check` there says the user.js is
refused until the push.
**Locked** (the policy): Betterbird's updater off (`DisableAppUpdate`); telemetry off (`DisableTelemetry`);
add-ons change only through the mesh's pins (`ExtensionUpdate` false); and three preferences locked off:
`mail.shell.checkDefaultClient` (the ask to be the default client), `mail.inappnotifications.enabled` (the
vendor's in-app notices), and `mailnews.start_page.enabled` (the start page, which otherwise loads from the
vendor at every start). The `Preferences` policy accepts only some prefixes. `privacy.` and `toolkit.` are not
among them, so such a preference can only be a default.
vendor at every start).
**Default** (`mesh-defaults.js`, each line commented with why):
**Kept at Betterbird's default** (`// keeps Betterbird's default: <name>` in `mesh-defaults.js`): the theme,
system colours, always-underlined links, manual spam marking, and the composer's attachment pane. A value the
profile saved for one of them is drift.
- display: compact density (`mail.uidensity` 0), 14-point interface text, and message bodies not darkened;
- layout: the vertical view with multi-line rows, the list as cards, threads grouped;
- no confirmation on Shift+Delete;
- new mail: no pop-up, no sound, no tray icon, and alerts through the desktop's notifier if a node turns them on;
- calendar: the day from 09:00 to 20:00, deleting without asking, the node's time zone, reminders shown, and
reminders missed while asleep shown at the next start;
- chat off;
- remote content blocked, and Do Not Track sent.
**Drift.** `betterbird_config` shows each managed preference (locked, declared, kept) through the layers, and
flags **drift**: a declared value the profile's `user.js` does not hold yet (remedy: `betterbird_user_js` with
apply, then `betterbird_restart`), or a value the profile saved where the module keeps Betterbird's default.
`betterbird_check` reports it.
A line `// keeps Betterbird's default: <name>` names a preference the module manages without a value of its own.
For these the operator's setup is Betterbird's own default: the theme, system colours, always-underlined
links, manual spam marking, and the composer's attachment pane.
**Drift.** A default does not beat a value the profile saved in `prefs.js`. That value may be a choice made in
the settings window, or one the profile already held. `betterbird_config` shows each managed preference through
the layers, and flags **drift**: a saved value that beats the module's default without a node layer saying so.
`betterbird_check` reports it. There are two remedies:
- `betterbird_config_apply` with `apply` takes the drifting values out of `prefs.js`, so the module's value
holds at the next start. It acts only while Betterbird is quit (no main process, and no `lock` in the profile),
because Betterbird rewrites `prefs.js` when it quits, and it says what it cleared. Without `apply` it lists
what it would clear.
- `betterbird_config_apply` with `apply` takes a kept preference's saved value out of `prefs.js`, so Betterbird's
default holds at the next start. It acts only while Betterbird is quit (no main process, and no `lock` in the
profile), and says what it cleared.
- **The theme is the exception.** Betterbird keeps the active theme in its add-on database (`extensions.json`),
and `extensions.activeThemeID` only mirrors it. So the tools read the theme from the add-on database, and the
module's value is `default-theme@mozilla.org`. Another theme is drift whose remedy is to enable the default
and `extensions.activeThemeID` only mirrors it. Another theme is drift whose remedy is to enable the default
theme in the add-on manager. `betterbird_config_apply` never clears it, and `keep` refuses it.
- `betterbird_config` with `keep` proposes this node's layer of `prefs` holding the profile's values of the named
preferences beside what the layer holds, through the controller's settings verb, for the operator's Approve.
**Never an account.** A name the tools withhold (a credential's, an account's, a server's), or an account's own
preference, is never managed, even when the defaults file lists it. `betterbird_config` leaves it out and names it
in `refused`, `betterbird_config_apply` never clears it, and `betterbird_check` says to take it out of the file.
- `betterbird_config` with `keep` proposes, through the controller's settings verb, a node layer of `prefs` that
holds the profile's value for this machine. The operator approves it on a channel that proves who answers.
The tool never writes `user.js` itself. The setting is one string, so the layer carries what `prefs` says on
this machine today, with the kept values added.
**One owner per value.** `prefs` refuses a preference whose name can hold a credential, an account's
(`mail.account.`, `mail.identity.`, `mail.server.`, `mail.smtpserver.` and the account lists, ADR 0316 §11), and
those the settings below own: `calendar.registry.`, `calendar.list.`, `ldap_2.servers.` and `mailnews.tags.`
(ADR 0329 §6).
## The user.js: how a preference is declared
## The user.js
Betterbird reads `user.js` in its profile when it starts, and a preference set there wins over the
one it saved in `prefs.js`. The profile's directory has a random name per machine
(`<random>.default-default`), which a manifest cannot name. So:
1. the node-engine writes `~/.config/betterbird/user.js` from the module's setting `prefs`, one line of
`user_pref("name", value);` statements (default: a comment, no preference);
2. the module's tools copy that file whole into the profile: `betterbird_user_js` with `apply`, or
`betterbird_restart`, which places it before it starts Betterbird again;
3. Betterbird reads it at that start.
Betterbird reads `user.js` in its profile when it starts, and a preference set there wins over the one it saved
in `prefs.js`. The profile's directory has a random name per machine (`<random>.default-default`), which a
manifest cannot name. So the tools compose the user.js from the settings — `prefs`, then the declared accounts,
then the declared identities, calendars, address books and tags under the keys each resolved to — and place it
in the profile: at the start from the launcher, `betterbird_user_js` with `apply`, or `betterbird_restart`.
**The profile is found** as the one the running Betterbird holds open; with none running, as the
installation's default in `profiles.ini` (`[Install…] Default`), else the profile marked `Default=1`.
On the workstation measured these differ: `Profile1` is marked `Default=1`, and the installation's
default, the one in use, is the other.
**A user.js the module did not write is never overwritten.** The module's begins with the line
`// Betterbird's user.js (module betterbird`; any other is the operator's, and `apply` refuses with
what to do. The tools refuse a declared file that holds anything but comments and `user_pref`
statements, or that sets a preference whose name can hold a credential.
`// Betterbird's user.js (module betterbird`; any other is the operator's, and `apply` refuses with what to do.
The file is **trusted** (`"trusted": true`): a preference can weaken how the mail client checks a server,
so the setting is changed only at the controller's terminal or proposed and set on the operator's warrant
(novox/hq issue 339, ADR 0277). An account's preferences (`mail.account.`, `mail.identity.`, `mail.server.`,
`mail.smtpserver.` and the account lists) are refused in `prefs`: an account is declared in `accounts`, so
it has one owner (ADR 0316 §11).

## Identities, calendars, address books, filters and tags (ADR 0329)
Five more settings, mesh-wide with a node's layer over each (an entry set to `null` in a node's layer is not on
that node). `identities`, `calendars`, `address-books` and `filters` reach the machine as
`~/.config/betterbird/configuration.json`, trusted as `accounts` is; `tags` as `tags.json`, not trusted (§5).
**No value holds a password, a token or a cookie**: a key shaped like one is refused, and so is an address whose
user part carries a password (§2). A setting holds no line break, so a signature is a list of its lines.
| setting | an entry | matched in the profile by |
|---|---|---|
| `identities` | by a name: `account` (its name in `accounts`), and for another identity than the account's default `address` and `name`; `reply-to`, `organization`, `signature` (lines), `signature-html`, `signature-above-quote`; `key` in a node's layer | the account's default (no `address`), or an identity of that account with the address |
| `calendars` | by a name: `name`, `url` (CalDAV), `color`, `read-only`, `reminders`, `user`, `invitations` (an identities entry); `key` in a node's layer | its address |
| `address-books` | by a name: `name`, `url` (CardDAV), `user`; `key` in a node's layer | its address |
| `tags` | by its key: `name`, `color`, `order` | its key |
| `filters` | by an account's name: the ordered list, each with `name`, `enabled`, `when` (new-mail, manual, after-junk, sending, archiving, periodic), `match` (all, any, every-message), `conditions` (`field`, `op`, `value`, in Betterbird's words) and `actions` (`action` in Betterbird's words; `folder` as a path within the account, or `value`) | owned whole per account |
**Adopted as accounts are** (§7): an entry recorded on this node is kept by its key; one under the module's own
key (`ident_mesh_<name>`, `mesh_<name>` for a calendar or an address book) is its creation; a `key` in the
node's layer is adopted when the profile holds it and it matches; else one match is adopted, none is created
under the module's key, and several are refused with the remedy. The declared fields go into the user.js under
that key. An entry leaving the setting releases what was adopted (its lines go) and removes the preferences of
what was created, never a calendar's events, an address book's contacts or a cache. An entry no setting declares
stays the person's. Owl's accounts and calendars, an ICS calendar (its address is often the secret), local
calendars and address books are never declared (§13).
**Filters are owned whole per declared account** (§8): the module writes that account's `msgFilterRules.dat`
from the list, each folder's path turned into its address on this node, so a filter added in Betterbird is gone
at the next apply (drift shows it first). Before its first write it keeps the replaced file in
`~/.config/betterbird/kept/<profile>/`; when the account leaves `filters`, the module stops writing and the file
stays the person's; `betterbird_filters` says where the kept copy is. A filter a setting cannot hold as it is (a
folder of another account, an add-on's action, a news filter) is named and not derived.
**Written only while Betterbird is closed** (§9): the lists in `prefs.js` and the filter files, because
Betterbird rewrites them as it runs and quits; the user.js is placed as before. `betterbird_check` counts per
kind the changes that wait.
**Derived, then proposed one layer at a time** (§10): `betterbird_derive` asks every desktop node holding
Betterbird for what its profile holds. An entry on every such node goes into the mesh-wide layer with the value of
the node the derive was called on, and the answer lists each field another node holds differently (which then
shows as drift there); one on some nodes only goes into those nodes' own layers. An account whose filter file
holds no filter is not put in `filters`. With `propose`, the next layer (the mesh-wide one, then each node's) is
proposed with the layer as it stands beside the derived kinds; never while a proposal of the module's waits, and
never while a desktop node does not answer. `prefs` on the call carries values of the setting `prefs` into the
mesh-wide layer. A `key` is never proposed for the mesh-wide layer.
